As Georgia teeters on the edge of a historic election, the nation’s future hangs in the balance. Billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, long accused of being Moscow’s puppet, is scrambling to maintain control as his “Russian Dream” begins to unravel. With mass protests rocking the streets and citizens demanding a pro-European future, the Georgian people are ready to break free from the Kremlin’s clutches.
Ivanishvili, the shadowy figure behind the ruling Georgian Dream party, has been exposed for maintaining deep ties to Russian oligarchs, despite his promises to sever those connections. His grip on Georgia has dragged the country into poverty and isolation, while Europe turns its back, halting Georgia’s path to the EU.
But hope is rising. Opposition leader Mikheil Saakashvili’s party, Unity – National Movement, is rallying the country with promises of sweeping reforms, corruption crackdowns, and an immediate return to the EU accession process. Saakashvili is pledging to boost incomes, secure multibillion-dollar Western investments, and dismantle the monopolies that have drained Georgia’s economy under Ivanishvili’s reign.
The Georgian Orthodox Church, another institution Ivanishvili tried to control, has firmly rejected his advances, standing with the people in the fight for independence.
As the election draws near, the world watches. Will Georgia reclaim its sovereignty and European future, or fall back into Moscow’s grasp? The choice is clear, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The night is darkest before dawn, and Georgia’s dawn is coming.
